Maintainer Checklist

The following is a checklist for maintainers to make sure this process goes as well as possible. Feel free to address the points below yourself in further commits if you realize that actions are needed :)

• Tests for changes have been written and the unit test, linting and formatting workflows within the PR checks do not indicate new errors in the files changed

  • Tests may need to be reran as they're at times not deterministic

• The CHANGELOG has been updated with a description of the changes for the upcoming release and the corresponding issue (if necessary)

@angrezichatterbox and @DeleMike: The commits that are in this PR now have us in a really great place as far as switching Scribe-i18n over to a submodule rather than a subtree. @catreedle will work on fixing the hard coded strings and keys that have changed since the last update of Scribe-i18n within the project, and then it'd be great if we could do a through review seeing as how this will update many of the texts across the application 😊

Great work so far, @catreedle!

note: Updated the PR description to reflect that this PR will close #527 and #515. We need to bring in the latest version of Scribe-i18n, and then this will finalize both once we fix any keys that are now different and replace some hard coded strings with keys. Let us know if you need support here, @catreedle!

note: Closed #526 in favor of this PR :)

Hi @andrewtavis , I missed the session yesterday to learn how to use the scribe-org/Scribe-i18n Git submodulein the Android app. Can you point me to a resource to see how to see this new update in action in the Android app?

[andrewtavis]

Hi @DeleMike 👋 You can check the docs for Scribe-i18n - the readme - that explains it all. @catreedle will load in the submodule and then we'll be able to edit and load in new versions 😊

Hi @andrewtavis

question: what to do when some strings are missing for Android but they are already available in i18n, for example "i18n._global.privacy_policy": "Privacy Policy". Because they don't start with "i18n.app" they got filtered out by the convert_jsons_to_strings script?
